Steeleye Span - Saucy Sailor lyrics

Come me own one, come me dear one, Come and tell now to me Can you fancy a poor sailor lad Who has just come from sea? You are ragged love, and you're dirty love And your clothes smell much of tar So be gone you saucy sailor lad So be gone you Jack Tar If I'm ragged love, and I'm dirty love And me clothes smell much of tar I've got silver in me pockets love, And of gold a bright store. And when she heard him say so On her bended knees she fell "To be sure I'll wed my dear henery, for I love sailor lads so well." Do you think that I am foolish love? Do you think that I am mad? For to wed with a poor country girl When there's fortune to be had I will cross the briney ocean I will whistle and sing And since you have refused the offer love Some other girl will wear the ring For I am frolicsome and easy, Going tempered and free And I don't give a single pin me boys What the world thinks of me.
